LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] Postifx authenticate local users

Hi,

I need to setup an outgoing SMTP server using Debian and Postfix.
This server is Only for outgoing mail and nothing else.
I will have local users that will authenticate and send email only.

I get a bit of a headache when trying to figure this out.
I'm trying to get SASL and Postfix to work with authentication but I can't get it to work.

When I try this:

Code:

testsaslauthd -u test -p testpass

I get:

Quote:

0: OK "Success."

However when I try to do telnet and try the authentication I get this:

Quote:

root@smtpout:~# telnet localhost 25
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 smtpout.domain.com ESMTP Postfix (Debian/GNU)
ehlo dummy
250-smtpout.domain.com
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 10240000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-STARTTLS
250-AUTH DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 NTLM PLAIN LOGIN
250-AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 NTLM PLAIN LOGIN
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8BITMIME
250 DSN
AUTH PLAIN dGVzdAB0ZXN0AHRlc3RwYXNz
535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure
quit
221 2.0.0 Bye

In mail.log I get this:

These are my configs:

inet_interfaces = all

mailbox_size_limit = 0

mydestination = smtpout.domain.com, localhost.domain.com, , localhost

myhostname = smtpout.domain.com

mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128

relayhost =

/etc/default/saslauthd-postfix:

Code:

OPTIONS="-c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd"

I can't find much info on how to setup with local users and don't use Dovecot and MySQL etc.
Is there anyone that can help me with this?
If I just get the authentication to work I will be able to do the rest myself. I haven't done much in the TLS section yet as I want to get things working first.
